+1. While hobbying never partook in the review specials, since I never felt that would be fair review and if I don't like it, I never wrote reviews.
Unless you are new Girl, I don't see a reason for review specials.

Only problem with review specials though, is allotting them to be had on the first date. Newbie providers would be an exception to the this, but I feel that with experienced and well-reviewed providers, "TOFT" should not be a playing factor, and paying the full rate on the initial date would be appropriate. Also, both parties would have the chance to fulfill both ends of the deal after all is said is done. Hobbyist writes a review. Provider offers discount. Bam, Bam, Thank-you ma'am.
Personally, on one occasion I did offer a gentlemen a review special in which he did not honor. Yes, I would've called him out on it, but I feel that it was initially my mistake in allocating such a date. It did upset me because I was new on ECCIE, but time has passed and I've had some wonderful gentlemen to see me for return discounted visits after a review.
To all the men who have agreed to do a review special and came through on their part - Thank You!
To all the men who have came back a second time (or more) after giving a review - Thank You!
To all the men who have asked about a review special on the first date WITHOUT writing a review afterwards - What a nice way to go about deceiving providers for discounted dates!
